Hey thanks for this. Yeah I'm a bit cowboyish in that regard haha. I'll turnout off when I go to put it out into the world for real.
For now I'm really appreciating the feedback I'm getting (only started working on this 4 nights ago).
- samwillis 5y agoI understand the motivation to keep it in debug when you first put it online, but the HN community is rightly quite hawkish on this type of thing, it is a potentially massive security risk. If your hope is that you could gain some initial customers from here, it will almost certainly put a significant number off of giving it a go. I know you are super early with a MVP but as you are asking people to consider paying you already, I hope you reconsider.
- justinholmes 5y agoExactly won't be long before his Stripe environment variables are leaked through the debug error message.
- gigamick 5y agoHonestly, not looking for users - I'm looking for feedback, which I'm getting by the bucketload and it is amazing!
- justinholmes 5y agoAlso running on single VM in a GCP zone is a disaster waiting to happen.
- stavros 5y agoWhy? I've been running services on single instances for 13 years and it's been ok. Not everything has to be webscale.
- justinholmes 5y agoIt's not about being webscale it's about being professional.
- stavros 5y agoIt's not professionalism to increase the cost of your service regardless of your needs. Maybe 99.99% is good enough for the OP's price point, and if I want five nines I'll pay for Zendesk.
- chrismorgan 5y agoIn this sort of situation, using multiple servers is likely to reduce reliability. Needless complexity is not a good thing. Making a system distributed has a real cost.
